There is nothing more Chicago than the new Pope’s brother giving an interview from his tv room and talking about the Cubs vs the White Sox.

hey @joe_depaolo - do you actually read the AI-generated transcripts you quote from before you put them in your stories? If so, how does something like this get through?

That’s ok. Donald Trump doesn’t know what’s in Donald Trump’s plans.
Tim Walz doesn’t know what’s in Kamala Harris’s housing plan trib.al/1HpaOcN

This sort of subject line/headline from @MorningConsult drives me bonkers. It's not true! The correct headline is: "Harris-Trump race unchanged." A 1-point (or even a 3-point!) shift is statistically meaningless AND THEY KNOW IT. #polls

"Overheating" lends itself to explanation of offensive cyber "New shipment" lends itself to supply-chain insertion of explosives, detonated remotely
"The affected pagers were from a new shipment that the group received in recent days, people familiar with the matter said. A Hezbollah official said hundreds of fighters had such devices, speculating that malware may have caused the devices to heat up and explode. The official said some people felt the pagers heat up and disposed of them before they burst." wsj.com/world/middle-east/hu…

This is mature for a 78 yo man. And he wants to be president. Of what? 5th grade?

Congratulations to Christopher Rufo, who, while trying to find evidence of Haitians eating cats in Springfield, managed, through the tireless journalistic efforts of his team, to uncover the shocking story of someone grilling chicken in a different city more than a year ago

President Trump held a news conference at his Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles today. When he was done speaking, he turned and looked out at the ocean, and said, "We have the most stupendous views of any golf course in North America right here. Look at that beauty, it's just tremendous, don't you agree?" He pointed at an island on the horizon and continued, "Look at Hawaii, can you imagine living and golfing here and looking out every day and seeing the beautiful Hawaiian Islands? It's unbelievable!"

The ‘Proud Boys’ fought tooth and nail against the mask mandates. But they sure love them when they’re terrorizing people.
